EDDIE Clamshell Buckets – High Capacity for Efficient Material Handling

The EDDIE FCB08-V2 and FCB08R-V2 Clamshell Buckets are powerful hydraulic excavator attachments designed for gripping, picking up, moving and loading larger quantities of material. A special linkage mechanism provides synchronized movement of both bucket shells, supporting smooth and coordinated opening and closing.

With a capacity of 2.0 m³, a maximum opening of 2,150 mm, and compatibility with excavators from 17 to 24 tons, the Clamshell Buckets are particularly suitable for professional loading and material-handling applications. The FCB08R-V2 is additionally available as a rotatable version, providing greater flexibility when positioning the attachment.

Key Advantages at a Glance

• For excavators from 17 to 24 tons: Both models are designed for carrier machines within this weight class.
• Large capacity: A capacity of 2.0 m³ allows larger quantities of material to be handled efficiently.
• Large maximum opening: A maximum opening of 2,150 mm facilitates the handling of high-volume materials.
• Synchronized shell movement: A linkage mechanism provides coordinated movement of both bucket shells.
• Rotatable version available: The FCB08R-V2 is specifically designated by EDDIE as the “Rotatable Version.”
• Flexible operation: The motor-driven slewing mechanism combined with cross swing supports multi-angle and multi-directional work.
• Powerful hydraulics: Maximum operating pressure is 200–250 kg/cm², with a grasping flow rate of 100–140 l/min.
• Robust construction: Both models have an operating weight of 1,760 kg.
• Rotation hydraulics: EDDIE specifies a maximum rotating pressure of 120–160 kg/cm² and an operating flow of 30–50 l/min.

Powerful Gripping with Excavator Hydraulics

EDDIE Clamshell Buckets are powered by the excavator's hydraulic system. The two bucket shells open and close synchronously, allowing materials to be picked up and discharged in a controlled manner.

The required operating pressure is 200 to 250 kg/cm², while the gripping function requires an oil flow of 100 to 140 l/min. Both models provide a capacity of 2.0 m³ and a maximum opening of 2,150 mm.

For the rotation function, EDDIE specifies a maximum pressure of 120 to 160 kg/cm² and an operating flow of 30 to 50 l/min. The FCB08R-V2 is explicitly identified as the rotatable version.

Synchronized Shell Movement and Flexible Positioning

A key feature of EDDIE Clamshell Buckets is the linkage mechanism, which provides synchronized movement of both bucket shells. This supports consistent material pickup and controlled discharge.

EDDIE also specifies a motor-driven slewing mechanism combined with cross swing, enabling multi-angle and multi-directional operation. This provides additional flexibility when the attachment frequently needs to be repositioned relative to the material.

Versatile for Material-Handling Applications

EDDIE Clamshell Buckets are particularly suitable for:

• Bulk material handling: Picking up and moving loose materials
• Loading operations: Efficient loading and unloading of larger material quantities
• Earthmoving: Handling soil and similar materials
• Construction sites: Picking up and repositioning loose construction materials
• Material handling: Controlled gripping, moving and discharge of materials
• Multi-angle applications: The rotatable version allows flexible positioning relative to the material

EDDIE – 2.0 m³ Capacity for Excavators from 17 to 24 Tons

With the FCB08-V2 and the rotatable FCB08R-V2, EDDIE offers two Clamshell Bucket configurations for excavators from 17 to 24 tons.

A capacity of 2.0 m³, a maximum opening of 2,150 mm, synchronized shell operation and the rotatable configuration make the range a powerful solution for professional loading and material-handling applications.
